Obvious course of action when you visit the seaside is to get fish and chips. We got our food and decided to wander down to the beach to consume it. Unfortunately I didn't really think to close the box my food was in. Consequently, I got dive bombed by a seagull which stole my fish and caused me to drop a lot of chips. Dropping the chips then caused the whole flock of seagulls to head in my direction. It was rather traumatic. Luckily I managed to save enough of my chips and my friends kindly donated me some fish from their (untouchd by seagulls) meals.
Later on we decided to go for a swim. As the beach at Brighton is covered by pebbles, I wore my spare flip flops to get to the sea. Sadly, luck wasn't on my side. As I got into the sea, there was a particularly strong wave which stole one of my flip flops. In an attempt to retrieve it, another wave stole the other flip flops. Then I got hit by a succession of waves which took me to a slightly different bit of sea and caused me to lose track of my flip flops. When I had to get out of the sea I had to half crawl, half stagger back up the beach as the pebbles were particularly uncomfortable to walk on.
There are probably two morals to this story. The first being, don't walk into the sea wearing flip flops. The second being, always cover up food at the beach just in case you get dive bombed by a cheeky seagull.
The possible culprit (not the random people lying on the beach)...
